Persona 5 Strikers is finally here and serves as a proper sequel to Persona 5, and yes, it’s all canon. One of the big differences that sets the sequel apart from its predecessor however is the change in the battle system. Instead of having a traditional turn-based system, like other JRPGs, Persona 5 Strikers plays more like an action RPG or a Musou game. When the Phantom Thieves meet up with each other to hang out and go on an exciting summer vacation, things take a turn for the worse and the group has to come together again to fight against evil and save people from getting brainwashed by one of the game’s early bosses, Alice Hiiragi....

With video game technology advancing in leaps and bounds as each new decade passes, we’ve seen vast open worlds created for the purposes of virtual exploration. The average Minecraft world, for example, is even larger than Neptune. There have also been games designed to recreate real world locations in a virtual setting, such as Sucker Punch’s upcoming superhero sandbox inFAMOUS: Second Son, which is set in Seattle. The Grand Theft Auto franchise is well known for basing its fictional cities on real locations, and Manhattan has been used as a location (under its real name or a pseudonym) for so many different games that even gamers who have never been to New York would probably know their way around it....

If there’s one thing that The Order: 1886 has going for it, it’s a setting and style that is downright guaranteed to set it apart from the competition (whenever it happens to be released). One of the most anticipated PS4 exclusives ever since it was unveiled by Ready At Dawn, The Order’s marketing has been kept to a minimum in the time since. But this brief, moody teaser may be a sign that all that is about to change....

Video games and anime have a lot of crossover elements which fans of both can enjoy immensely. Dynamic characters that become stronger, crazy weapons that are fun to use, and fascinating settings that are unique as well as vibrant. Though, the most important aspect is the storytelling. Without a cohesive and interesting plot and direction, there will be little to tie all the cool elements together. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has all of these aspects in spades, therefore fans of this incredible video game will be sure to love anime that are composed of similar features....

Star Wars is one of the most prolific franchises in the world. There are countless movies, books, and video games based on the space opera. If you’re looking for a good game in the series, it can be a difficult search. That’s especially true these days when almost every game in the franchise now has a PC release. Nearly every Star Wars game is playable on PC, anyway. There are a few that still haven’t made the cut, like Star Wars: Bounty Hunter or Super Star Wars....

If you’re a classic gamer, you probably bumped into one of the Silpheed games at some point during your gaming adventures. This top-down pseudo-3D shooter was imaginative and inventive for its time, eventually breaking through to the console market. Today we’re going to examine 10 facts about the Silpheed series that you may not have known. We’re taking a trip down the historical timeline here, so sit back and enjoy!...

For many players, Metacritic is the go-to resource for deciding which games to play and which to avoid. Metascores can, therefore, have huge effects on both the income that the publisher makes and the reputation of the developer. For this reason, it can be devastating for companies if they receive a score that they justifiably feel is too low. The constant rise of the video gaming industry, along with the influx of indie titles, means that players can ignore games with sub-70 Metascores, as it’s only a matter of time before the next 80+ game is released....

Dragon Quest is one of the most important pieces of media for video games. Being directly responsible for the JRPG franchise, it has been beloved by many fans across Japan. Of course, ever since Dragon Quest VIII, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, and the recent Dragon Quest XI S, practically everyone knows the series one way or another. Jam-packed with an epic story full of love and forgiveness, Dragon Quest XI S is definitely something everyone should try....

Horror games almost always have protagonists who suffer the unfortunate fate of being thrust into a merciless and horrifying circumstance. For instance, these situations may come in the form of haunted hospitals, abandoned buildings, or even cities plagued by monsters and zombies. Fortunately, most of these horror protagonists live long enough to tell the story of their experiences. Unfortunately, some horror protagonists end up reliving their nightmares in sequels. Interestingly, some horror protagonists look at death in the face and win past their experience....

In the Pokémon series, as with any other RPG, stats mean a whole heck of a lot. This franchise, in particular, has a competitive battling element, so you can be darn sure that players are going to opt for the best and most powerful parties they can make. Having said that, though, no Pokémon truly excels in every stat. The most formidable offensive ones tend to be glass cannons, with defenses that can be utterly feeble....

The RPG (role-playing game) genre is synonymous with story depth. An RPG typically lets you influence the story through in-game decisions. Story-based games from other genres, however, place the player as the observer in the story. You don’t impact the plot, aside from a few genre exceptions like episodic graphic adventure games. Whether you maintain control over a story or not, it’s hard not to fall in love with these games....

Nintendo had a rocky start to this decade. After the Nintendo Wii’s immeasurable success, the company released the Wii U in 2012. The console only moved a fraction of its predecessor’s units, ultimately failing as a result of poor marketing, a high price tag, and uninspired gimmick. It’s a shame too, considering the system had some stellar titles like Super Mario 3D World, Super Smash Brothers, and Bayonetta 2. Being the champs they are, the legendary video game company brushed the dust off their shoulders and got to work on a new console, one that would rectify their mistake and put them back on top....

100 Thieves have named Chet “Chet” Singh as the head coach of their CS:GO team. Shortly before joining 100 Thieves, Chet “Chet” Singh was the head coach for Evil Geniuses. 100 Thieves previously announced that their long-term head coach Aleksander “kassad” Trifunovic was leaving the team, as the players and him appeared to drift apart. These coaching issues appeared to be detrimental to 100 Thieves success as they have been struggling with placements within major events and have placed fifth and sixth in the North American divisions of ESL Pro League Season 11 and ESL One: Road to Rio....

On the surface, Hitman 3, much like its predecessors Hitman 1 and 2 before it. That is to say that it looks like a pretty standard stealth action game. While this is true to a certain extent, there is a lot more to the game than just stealth; with many systems at play, including advanced AI routines and sandbox-style levels. Due to this, it’s easy to make the odd mistake here and there on one’s first playthrough....

Ark is a survival game that places players in a world full of dinosaurs. With nothing but a loincloth covering them, players must build a base by punching trees to get wood, make tools to defend themselves, and make friends with the local dinosaurs. The only problem is that there is a lot of aggressive dinos who would love nothing more than to make players their mid-day snack. To get anywhere fast, players will need to level up fast and learn how to tame dinosaurs to help defend them and cart them around the map more quickly....

Nintendo’s recent announcement that they’ve decided to upgrade their multiplayer servers after about 10 years of relying on the “NEX” system isn’t just a cause of celebration over the hopes of better days to come. It’s a chance to look back on the great Nintendo multiplayer games of years gone by. It’s understandable if you don’t immediately associate Nintendo with multiplayer games, but a deeper look at the company’s history reveals a collection of classics that have led to as many memorable multiplayer matches as the genre’s heaviest hitters....

The holiday gaming season is in full swing with Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception, Modern Warfare 3, and Batman: Arkham City available on store shelves - not to mention title such as Skyrim only days away from release. As a result, it’s rare that we get the opportunity to report on tantalizing last minute details but, today, Ubisoft has dropped an especially interesting tidbit about the upcoming conclusion to the story of Ezio Auditore da Ferenze in Assassin’s Creed: Revelations....

For many of you, today has been a long-time in coming. With the heavily anticipated release of Electronic Arts and DICE’s FPS Battlefield 3, gamers have gone flocking to their respected stores and platforms to make for the battlefield. Unfortunately, one group of gamers has been excommunicated from the adventure, having to resort to the despairing single-player campaign. A few hours ago - be it by internal error, extreme server taxation, or something more frustrating — the Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 3 became utterly unplayable to play online....

Activision’s fancy new stat tracking system, Call of Duty Elite, hasn’t been having the easiest launch; the team at Beachhead Studios is struggling to keep up with the amount users trying to access the system. In the past couple of days, the possibility of Elite coming to PC was even called into question, but luckily for keyboard and mouse loving Call of Duty Players, Activision can confirm that the service will launch eventually, though they do not have a time frame for when exactly players should expect it…...
